That kind of threat is my favorite part of Metroid Prime 2. Navigating your way through the poisonous dark world is--I have no regrets about word choice here--intoxicating. I would describe it, too, as crushingly lonely. _________________ Like you thought you'd seen copter perverts before. They were nothing compared to this one. |

so bouncers is actually a pretty good game if you set it to short quarters.
i could see it working well with four players. _________________

okay, this time i got through all of sonic cd without incident. i also made a good future in stardust speedway for the first time ever! the starlit night made a wonderful backdrop to a close race with my cybernetic nemesis.
you haters can just go jump. _________________

yeah. I believe the problem with hating sonic cd goes back to the fact that people expect to make good futures by running right and turning their brains off. the game does not encourage that at all. |

I should point out that even though I "beat" Sonic CD, I still never exactly figured out what the hell I was doing or how to make good/bad futures and what the results were. The game was not very good at explaining that to you. _________________ “The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.”

All it takes is destroying those machines in the past and present, right? I think so ... _________________ www.call-to-adventure.com

only in the past.
making good futures is pretty simple. the past of each stage has one nefarious robot-generating machine. as long as it exists, the future will be dirty, bleak, and metal. destroying it will cause the natural, gorgeous future to be restored. to get the "true" ending of the game you need to do that in each stage.
(collecting all the "time stones" in the bonus stages will cause every subsequent stage to have a "good future".)
that's all you really need to know, and you're free to ignore it anyway. i've never gotten more than five good futures in a single run through the game. there are some other differences between the time zones - enemies are in new, dangerous condition in the past and run-down in the future.
and that's the poop. _________________

I spent the time to get every God-forsaken good future so that I could... something. I honestly don't remember why I did that.
I wonder if the save in my Sega CD is still there. Any of you ever changed the battery in a Sega CD? |

You can view all the endings in Sonic CD by pulling your total time time trial mode under something like 40 25 minutes for every stage. It's defintely more fun to get the "best" ending that way, which is no big deal anyway. |
